Thanks and yeah it was a short bed. I was suprised i measured the wheelbase of the 2wd it was like 98"? and the 4runner 103" but the wheelwell was perfectly centered when i set the bed on.

GrenadedToy · February 26, 2009, 02:34:34 PM

So everywhere I've checked around for wheels they have 4.5" BS for 17" wheels, and I decided just to get some crager soft 8's with custom 3.5" BS. Should be around $435 shipped..so I will be ordering those next friday

and my crossmember will be here tuesday!

Once that is in I'll move onto the body mounts. I've got a cool idea for them..stay tuned.

yota_krawler · February 28, 2009, 07:07:09 AM

im in, this truck is cool. When I first started to read I didnt know what to expect but so far so good!

GrenadedToy · February 28, 2009, 08:20:31 PM

All I've done lately is I welded the bob all together and set it back on the frame. I need to cut out the horseshoe cross member so my cab will sit level. Mounts shouldn't be to bad. Just hope the weather is nice the next couple weeks

coods · March 01, 2009, 11:00:03 PM
